🚨 BREAKING MACRO ALERT 🚨
U.S. federal prosecutors have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell — and markets are reacting fast.
📊 Prediction markets signal rising risk
• Polymarket now prices 12% odds of Powell’s exit
• Kalshi shows even higher at 19%
🧠 Why this matters for traders:
This isn’t just political noise. Any instability at the Fed:
Injects uncertainty into rate policy
Raises volatility across bonds, FX, and equities
Historically benefits hard assets and crypto as trust in institutions wobbles
💥 Even low-probability events can move markets when confidence is fragile. Stay hedged, watch liquidity, and don’t underestimate second-order effects.
Macro cracks = opportunity for prepared traders.
